Had a nice 20 mile ride home in 13F weather.... couldn't feel my fingers by the end of the ride
Still waiting on power outlets, exhaust, both backrests, fog lights and heated handlebars.
Now if only this damn weather would warm up....
Having come from the RSS, I have been shocked at how little adjustment I needed personally, it feels natural riding in this position. The only part of the adjustment I've found difficult is the brake position, its been taking more time to get used to.
It is hard to get on and off of, I use the passenger pegs for that which means I cannot ever fold them up unless I want a hassle every time I get on and off.

Haha, they are telling me the exhaust and the heated handle grips won't be here until June Just in time to use the heated handle grips.
They actually need to redo one of the strips, its got a ripple in it, they put another one on order.
What do you guys think about putting the 3 chrome accents on? Its already got silver frame caps, so the chrome would probably look fine. I'm not sure if the engine and transmission chrome would look good, since its not a black and chrome bike... but the exhaust will be chrome when its upgraded, so maybe it wouldn't look out of place?

You Minnesotans are tough! Congratulations on your new ride. I nearly turned on my heated grips today and it was in the 60s so I'm sure you could have used yours.
I'm not a fan of chrome or cleaning chrome so I vote no on the chrome pieces.
